He attended the canton school in Frauenfeld and graduated in 1958 with the Matura ¨Type C.

It was in 1983 when Manfred Rehbinder with a dissertation on the intellectual property rights to the Dr. jur. PhD.

His passion as a mountaineer developed early on. He joined the Swiss Alpine Club (SAC), although his father had already been a SAC member and a frequent mountaineer into old age. At the age of 28, Manfred Hunziker decided to climb 2437 peaks based on Herbert Maeder's classic Die Berge der Schweiz . At 65, he was only missing 97 peaks, having climbed all the peaks above 4000 m. At that time, he set himself the goal of climbing the highest peaks in every mountain area from Nice to Vienna (80 peaks in total). In 2004 he was only missing 15.

He has been leading tours in the Alps for the SAC section Uto since 1978, mainly in Switzerland. Hunziker was made an honorary member of the Uto section in 2001. A donation for the renovation of the Domhütte of the Uto section, which Hunziker made in 2011, testifies to his connection with the mountains . He chose the top floor of a high-rise building in Zurich-Altstetten as his retirement home , from where he has a clear view of the Alps and the city of Zurich.
